/* Fetch the interface configuration from the kernel. */ int if_fetch(struct interface *ife) { struct ifreq ifr; int fd; char *ifname = ife->name; strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifname); if (ioctl(skfd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, &ifr) < 0) return (-1); The problem is that skfd is not defined. at line 437. I don't see how you could have compiled it since it is a code error. net-tools-1.60-r8 right?
Looking a bit further, it appears that skfd is a global variable and marked as externel in sockets.h For some unknown reason my system doesn't see this file, (it possibly sees some other file with the same name. There's a number on my system). I was able to get around the problem by emerge -u net-tools waiting for the unpacking to finish. ctrl-z copying the sockets.h from include to lib fg This allowed the compile to finish.
This seems to be solved and should probably be marked as invalid, as it was due to multiple header files of the same name on the include path.
ok
Wait a minute. The bug is that system include files are being included before the local ones. The fact that I was able to resolve it on my system doesn't mean the bug is not real. (And it re-occurs with each itteration of net-tools!) The include file in question is sockets.h which sounds to me like a very common name. This can be found in my system at a number of places, /opt/crystal/include/csutil/sockets.h /usr/local/include/sockets.h /usr/include/mono/io-layer/sockets.h So as far as I can see, if you emerge mono or crystalspace or whatever made the local one (Toolbus) then you can't compile net-tools. Am I completely missing something?
i guess this should have been marked invalid since you've screwed up your system by setting up files in /usr/local/include/
